You need to get a license for property management. Get into a program and be prepared to start close to the bottom.

On the financial side or on more of the overall leasing and lessor side of the coin?

Actually where I live in MD a young lady just left and became a property manager - couple months back she told me she already had a real estate license and she had been working at my apartment for a couple years and she recently moved and now is into property management. She made it sound like you need to have both real estate and property mgmt to be successful. The complex I live in is a high demand and pretty large property,

I think it's just a BAD time to do anything... you likely DO HAVE THE SKILLS

Changing fields is rough! I felt confident my skills would transfer when I switched careers - turns out, employers want you to speak their language, not just show your experience.

I’d start by pulling property manager job descriptions and copy/pasting your resume against them. You might notice tons of little skills or keywords missing - stuff you’ve done but just never named it like that on a resume.

I used ResumeJudge, Resume Worded, and Jobscan to scan my resume for all those property management phrases and it really helped.

If you want to drop the job description, I’ll take a look - sometimes even tiny tweaks bump up your chances a lot, especially for roles with heavy ATS filtering.
